Answer 1

What help the Romans have to conquer and control the entire Italian peninsula was that they were good diplomats, very merciful towards conquered people and allowed states to run their own internal affairs. The only thing that it did not help was when they were shrewd about extending Roman citizenship. 

The answer would be letter B. 

Answer 2

Answer:

c.The Romans were very merciful towards conquered people.

Explanation:

Since the Romans weren´t exactly known for their fierce warrior or great war strategies, it made it hard for them to conquer the italian peninsula because they were famous for their diplomacy, so being merciful with conquered people didn´t help them when it came to conquering other people since they weren´t affraid of them.
